Dia Saba Out of Israel National Team Due to Political Situation

Sources within the Football Association have confirmed that Dia Saba will not play for the Israeli national team again, with a decision made not to call him up and to end his international career. The sources indicated an implicit understanding between the association and the 34-year-old player that he will not join the team in the upcoming period. He will be unable to travel from the Turkish league and will not be part of the next Nations League campaign, according to the website "Walla!".

Association sources clarified that the decision not to call up the Hapoel Hadera midfielder is not related to his on-field performance. His team, Kasimpasa, currently sits fifth in the Turkish Super Lig after three rounds, and Saba has already scored two goals this season. Despite his form, there is an understanding between the player, the team, and the association that, given the current political situation, it is impossible for Saba to wear the Israeli national team jersey again.
